I have a blacklisted graphic driver (radeon 1950x pro) with no available update -- suggetions for a work around?

I gave a blacklisted graphics driver for radeon 1950x pro (ATI) that has no available update. From what I can tell, because my driver version are not supported I am suffering from 'glitchy' performances, especially in flash-based websites (eg: the game Zuma Blitz suffers highly from what appears frame-rate issues).
Any suggestions?

Some websites are 'glitchy' so there must be some impact vs the two versions. For example, a simple flash game like Zuma Blitz suffers from what appears to be frame-rate issues. While 3.6.x does not.
Youtube even is glitchy now. Google's maps. Ect.
And before it's suggested, I have updated flash to double check that wasn't the issue.

How do I get firefox to display images clearly? I've got Windows 2000 Pro and Firefox 3.6.6. Internet Explorer shows images clearly, so I'm sure I have the correct graphics driver. Do I need a plugin or add-on of some sort? When I go to "updates", it

When I use Firefox the images and logos don't show up clearly/correctly. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro. and just installed Firefox 3.6.6. I'm sure I have the right graphics driver as I'm able to see the images and logos clearly in Internet Explorer. I only have the "default plugin 1.0.0.15" installed. I'm thinking that I'm missing a plugin or add-on of some sort, but I'm not sure which one(s). When I go to "updates" it says there were no updates available. When I go to "Add-ons" it gives a list of Add-ons but I'm not sure which would help my issue. Any help would be appreciated.:)

I am new to a MAC. I have an external hard drive that I used with my Windows XP computer. Can I reformat it

I am new to MAC. I have an external hard drive that I used with my former computer running Windows XP. Can I reformat it to use with my new MAC? If so, how do I do it?

Yes you can. See the following:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Well first you have to figure out what is wrong with the machine and solve that problem first.
Your post is very vague on what occured, and there are many types of "crashes" it really depends upon what see on the screen and what the hardware does, we can't see it to tell you, so you have to tell us.
I suggest you run through these user tips and provide more information about your hardware.

HT2499 I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

I have never had the issues I am having with the latest update to Yosemite. Is there a fix/update for this?

I have never had the issues I am having with the latest update to Yosemite. Is there a fix/update for this?

For what? It works fine for me on three different computers. If you want a fix for something then be more specific.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Intel Inf Driver + Radeon 9700 Pro = Graphic Corruption

Greetings all,
Here is the problem:
Upon a fresh install of Windows XP Pro w/ SP1, I immediately installed the Intel Inf Drivers for AGP support.
On reboot, the little motion bar underneath the Windows XP load screen is graphically corrupted. The monitor would blank out once it tried to activaly go into Windows. Safe Mode has the same corruption, but the screen would let me boot into 640 x 480 (not sure how many colors though).
I have had the 9700 pro RMA'd and the motherboard (865 PE Neo2 PLS) RMA'd. I purchased an Emermax 450W Dual Fan PS. I have tried the video card in another machine (Athlon 64) and it works fine. ATI Video Drivers have no effect. As it corrupted on the default drivers included with Windows XP Pro w/ SP1, that's not the issue. I tried turning off Hyperthreading, Spread Spectrum, loading the failsafe bios defaults, the corruption was still there.
Currently, I have an old GF2 GTS into this machine and it loaded the inf drivers without a hitch. In this installation, the USB mouse actually stops working and I get a warning that the power has surged to the USB port.
Here's the rest of the equipment:
Intel P4 2.8E w/ HT.
MSI MS-6720 i865 PE Neo2 PLS Motherboard
512 MB PC400 RAM
Soundblaster Live Value!
Enermax 450W Dual Fan PS
Plextor 12x10x32 CDWriter
LG 52x CDROM
Osprey 100 Video Capture Card
I'll be posting the same issue on the Intel Forums and ATI forums, along with Rage3D. I have a feeling it's something to do with ATI's native interface with the AGP slot on the mobo, but I don't know for sure.
Thoughts?

In answer to the above,
the problem occurs with both the Omega Drivers, the default ATI drivers and the DNA drivers.
If I don't plug in the molex connecter, the video card will not power up at all and there is a warning to plug it in.

MEGA180 - Samsung Drive & Radeon 9800 Pro

Hi all, new here and i'm just so glad at the moment that i've found the place. Really impressed with the MEGA180, I aren't using all it's functionality, pretty much just as a PC and every now and then as a HIFI, my story so far...
I bought a Samsung DVD-RW which was incompatible with the system, i've posted in the optical drive compatibility list thread to warn others and have now gone for a NEC drive instead, seems to be fine so far, fingers crossed.
I was initially perplexed as to why people are having trouble with temps as mine was running seriously cool, however things have now changed, I have gambled a little and bought myself a Radeon 9800 Pro (MSI just to help a bit), I wasn't expecting it to work to be honest as it recommends a 300 watt power supply but all is fine, no crashes and the games are now running at anything between 1024-768 and 1280-1024 with all eye candy turned on and look great :-)
but, the temp has understandably gone through the roof, I have seen the thread for lowering temps and it's my project for the coming weekend, anything I learn or can pass on I will but at the moment you guys look like you have virtually everything covered,
many thanks,
J.

Hi-
You can use the 9800 Pro in the MDD if you tape pins #3 and #11.
As for using the Zalman (or other cooler), the memory problem can be solved by using 1GB DIMMs, which would allow for up to two open slots.
Clearance of the optical drive is another issue.
If is just the EFI shield that is in the way, removing it can give a few more mm's of space.
Other drive brands are also shorter, so changing the optical drive out may be an option.
Otherwise, changing the cooler for a lower profile cooler is about all that you can do. At a minimum, reinstalling an OEM fan will give all the clearance that you need.
This Vantec is slightly smaller than the Zalman, and may be a better option:

This Vantec is very small, but better than the OEM cooler:

Poor graphics performance on Macbook Pro with windows 7 bootcamp

I have a 13" Non-Retina Machbook Pro with Intel HD 4000 Graphics, purchased around 2 years ago. I installed Bootcamp for certain assignments for school, running Windows 7, and started playing videogames on it. I played Dark Souls and Chivalry, mainly, and both ran reliably at a pretty mediocre framerate but with decent graphics settings. I picked up Dark Souls 2 in the summer, and was able to run it and medium-high graphics with decent framerate. several months later, after not having played on Windows for a while, I came back to Dark Souls 2, but found that the game would run with this strange, pulse-y lag, like everything would animate quickly for a moment before pausing and continue again. the framerate itself was normal, it would just stutter constantly. (about one pause per second) and it wasn't a complete freeze, either. The game would move very slowly for a moment instead of freezing.
Anyway I was surprised and decided to test it with Chivalry. Same Problem. Kingdoms of Amalur, same problem. All of these were windows only so I decided to compare something that could run on both platforms. I tested it with league of legends - Mac side: Medium-high graphics with 60 fps. Windows side: Low graphics with pulsing lag and 30fps.
I read through some articles and found something about SMC reset. Tried that. No effect.
Then I updated my drivers. No effect.
Any idea what's wrong with my windows-side graphics?

I have Windows 7 Pro Boot Camped on my Mac Mini (late 2012) HD 4000 as well. Nvidia driver. On a graphics intense game of mine I have learned to just get by. Unfortunately using Nvidia or other graphics driver updates through Windows Update is the best you can do. I would not attempt or recommend a newer graphics driver from the manufacture website. You may end up rendering your Windows unusable. Windows 7 has great benefits on a Mac, but, limited user options. One of my graphics intense programs had to be found and purchased from the App Store. Windows version just would not run correctly. If you are stuck with the RAM that came with your MBP, you may want to upgrade to 8 or the full 16 GB of RAM which may help. Otherwise I find Windows to run quite well. I use it for DVD playback and Media Center which runs great. I have 4 GB of RAM. Cheers!

I have a blacklisted graphic driver (radeon 1950x pro) with no available update -- suggetions for a work around?
